The rear rim wouldn't be correct for this bike I don't think. Any idea about what happened there?
Hey! How ya doin'!

The left crank and possibly the right crank have been replaced as is the entire rear wheel, as evidenced by the rim, as you say, but also by the SunTour 3-speed hub. If the bike was parked on the streets, all sorts of things could have happened to it. I asked the bike what happened, but it's not telling me. So there ya go.
